I think their game plan will be to get the ball out really fast and max protect. To try and negate their offensive line disadvantage. The Louisville game plan is the only thing to look at as a roadmap to beat Miami. Which everything just went wrong during that game so I don’t think that’s a game plan for beating Miami by itself. Let’s be honest, we played our F game and still almost won. We just can’t get in a hole and Beck can’t turn the ball over.

Seems like they get a lot of easy stuff short on the outside cause there cushions for their WRs. Our CBs are gonna have to tackle. They have athletes out wide that’ll make us earn it.
 
I've watched several Ohio State podcasts. I've never seen a more arrogant fanbase. They top ND. Yes. They won the national championship last year.

These people are actually offended that we think we can win.

I did find one podcast (I wish I saved the link) that actually gave Miami credit and featured a breakdown on Mesidor and his plethora of moves Iin the A&M game. In that podcast, one of the podcasters pointed out that Miami has more explosive plays than Ohio State had.

Most of the OSU podcasts are about how great they are a d how their offense is going to destroy us with big plays. I did a little digging and discovered OSU isn't as explosive as their fans claim to be.

OSU is ranked 59th in yards per completion at 11.92 yards per completion. Miami ranked 69th at 11.62 yards per completion. OSU averages 3/10th of a yard per completion better than Miami. So, in a game of 20 completions, OSU would have 6 more yards passing than Miami.

It gets better. In 13 games for both teams, OSU ranks 23rd in passing and Miami 29th. OSU passed for 3,458 yards. Miami passed for 3,413 yards. So, OSU in 13 games passed for 45 more yards than Miami. This includes Miami's 103 yard passing against Texas A&M. Without the high winds, Miami likely throws for over 200+ yards which would have put Miami ahead of OSU in total passing yards.

Conclusion. OSU is not the big play team their fans and the media claim them to be. They have big play players, but they don't have the big play production.
 
Their are rumors that Day is going to come out running tempo. Maybe they do some, but I find it hard to be in their 1st game together through the green dot, they run a bunch of tempo when Sayin has never done it. We shall see. Now, I continue to waste my time on repeat, we should run some tempo.

This game is all about our O. They need to pick up the weight after last game, and Dawson needs to be in his bag. We need to come out and score on that first drive.

Miami is going to have to find a way to manufacture points, and move the ball consistently. This is definitely the most talented defense at all 3 levels we have seen. We cant have a gun-shy Beck and win this game. He has to be aggressive and throw some WR open. We will not dink and dunk our way for 13 play drives. Their front 7 is super aggressive and fast, and those WR screens will have little success.

I would love to force an early 1Q mistake on Sayin, and really impact his mental for the rest of the game. I think our offense will have some issues moving the ball consistently.. Their defensive line is tough, and LBs are super active. I dont think we have enough juice to beat those DBs and create space. So that will leave 50/50 balls we need to rely on with CJ and maybe Trader. I would give Trader some burn to see if the JJ head to head unlocks a new level.

I'd like for Bain and Mesidor to bury his prissy *** in the turf and break parts on him he didn't know he has.

Carson Beck will outperform Mendoza in the playoffs. That’s my hot take for the day. I think he was great against TAMU, given the conditions, in executing the game plan. And I think he’s going to earn his money this week.
